Researchers say data gathered during the pandemic throw up two important questions: why women continue to take on most housework, and why men believe it to be more equally shared than it is.
LONDON — Gender imbalance in shouldering domestic work is explained by different ways in which men and women perceive chores, philosophers at Britain's Cambridge University suggest.
According to a survey of US households during the pandemic, 70 percent of women said they were fully or mostly responsible for housework, and 66 percent for childcare, roughly the same proportion as usual. According to the study, when a woman enters a kitchen, she is more likely to see dishes to be washed or a fridge to be stocked.Perception is shaped on practice and people can train themselves into good habits, McClelland told AFP.
